Video: Rickie Weeks' Bizarre Foul Ball That Wasn't

The "Phillie Bot" Attempts To Throw Out The First Pitch

Victorino, Polanco Homer The Phillies To Victory Over Brewers

This game started out much like the last two against the Brewers, where it looked like decent starting pitching would be wasted by silent Phillies bats. In fact, Brewers starter Chris Narveson had a no hitter into the fifth inning.

However, the bats would come alive in the bottom of the sixth when Wilson Valdez walked and Shane Victorino singled to bring Placido Polanco to the plate. Polly put a pitch in to the left field stands to tie the game at three.

Kyle Kendrick made up for his poor appearance in game one with a scoreless seventh and Ryan Madson threw a scoreless 8th to preserve the tie heading into the bottom of the inning. Shane Victorino led off with a solo shot to right center for what would prove to be the game winner. Jose Contreras struck out Mark Kotsay and Ryan Braun for the save.

Cliff Lee didn’t get a decision after he went six innings, giving up eight hits while being charged with two runs.

Next up for the Phils is a trip to the west coast for a four game set with the Padres. Oswalt, Hamels & Halladay in Petco Park? These games could be quick moving…

Phillies Roughed Up By Brewers 9-0

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) – Randy Wolf turned in six scoreless innings and Casey McGehee hit a three-run homer during a six-run seventh inning as Milwaukee downed Philadelphia, 9-0, in the second installment of a three-game set.

Erick Almonte knocked in a pair and Ryan Braun also homered for the Brewers, who took the opener on Monday, 6-3, in 12 innings. Prince Fielder added three hits and an RBI.

Wolf (2-2) fanned five and walked three, blanking an opponent for his second straight outing. The former Phillies hurler yielded three hits over 6 2/3 innings on April 14 at Pittsburgh.

Shane Victorino and Jimmy Rollins collected the lone hits for the Phillies, who dropped back-to-back games for the first time all year and were also blanked for the first time on the young season.

Roy Halladay (2-1) was charged in defeat for 10 hits and six runs over 6 2/3 frames.

The Brewers blew open the game with six runs in the seventh — all coming with two outs. Rickie Weeks reached on a one-out base hit, then came home on Fielder’s RBI infield single to make it 4-0 and spelled Halladay’s exit. David Herndon came on and promptly allowed a three-run blast to McGehee.

Later in the inning, with the bases loaded and facing Mike Zagurski, Almonte, who began the frame as a pinch hitter by striking out, drove in two more with a single and it was 9-0.

Sean Green, Zach Braddock and Mike McClendon combined to hold the Phils hitless over the final three innings.

Milwaukee pushed across a run in the second on a two-out double from Yuniesky Betancourt and a single by George Kottaras. Braun’s solo shot just over the wall in right made it 2-0 in the third.

Braun worked a leadoff walk in the sixth, then Fielder followed with a single and Mark Kotsay dumped a hit to right two batters later for a 3-0 Milwaukee cushion.

Braun reached base for the 17th straight game — the longest streak to start a season for Milwaukee since Jeromy Burnitz reached base safely in the first 17 games of the 1997 season…The team record to begin a season is held by Robin Yount with 23 games in 1983…It marked only the fourth time in his 21 starts at Citizens Bank Park as a Phillie that Halladay allowed more than three earned runs… Prior to the game, the Phillies placed reliever J.C. Romero on the 15-day disabled list with a right calf strain and recalled Zagurski from Triple-A Lehigh Valley…The Brewers placed pitcher Shaun Marcum on the bereavement list and recalled McClendon from Triple-A Nashville, and also announced that starter Zack Greinke, on the DL since the end of spring training, will begin his rehab with a start at Class-A Brevard County on Tuesday.

Phillies Vs Brewers: Roy Halladay Takes On Randy Wolf

Just like they have in every series since the opener, the Phillies dropped game one against the Brewers last night after 12 innings. Also just like they have in every series so far this year, the Phillies will send an ace to the hill as they look to take the last two games.

Current Phillies ace Roy Halladay takes on former Phillie that we all kinda wished was an ace, Randy Wolf tonight at Citizens Bank Park. Wolf pitched well in his last start throwing 6+ innings of three hit ball against the Pirates. However, he's struggled this season prior to that start, going 0-2 and allowing eight runs over 10 innings. Wolf has been ok against the Phillies since his departure with a 5.10 ERA and a 2-2 record. The lefty has been particularly rough on Ryan Howard, who has struck out in five of his fifteen lifetime plate appearances against Wolf.

Will we be seeing a temporary return of the Wolf pack tonight? When he returned to Philly as a Dodger in the postseason, his former cheering section had turned on him.

Like Wolf, Roy Halladay was pretty good in his last start as well... He gave up just two runs while pitching the 59th complete game of his career. On the season, Halladay is 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA and 22 Ks in 22 innings.

Phillies Lose In 12 Innings, Drop Series Opener To Brewers

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Rickie Weeks scored on a Ryan Braun sacrifice fly and the Milwaukee Brewers broke open a hotly-contested game with a three-run 12th inning to earn a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Braun went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs, while Yuniesky Betancourt managed two RBI despite going 0-for-5 from the plate, helping the Brewers snap a three-game losing streak.

Brandon Kintzler (1-0) closed the game with two scoreless innings to pick up the victory. Shaun Marcum carried Milwaukee into the seventh with six strong innings of work, allowing just one unearned run and five hits, while striking out five.

Kyle Kendrick (0-1) suffered the loss for Philadelphia, as he allowed all three of the Brewers' 12th-inning runs. Recently maligned starter Joe Blanton turned in his best outing of the young season, allowing just two runs in seven innings of work.

Shane Victorino, Ryan Howard and pinch-hitter Pete Orr each drove in a run for the Phillies. Orr's RBI came on a single in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game into extras.
